Toshiba Laptop problem

[TestingtheGame]

I’m having a serious problem with my laptop. Everything was working fine yesterday, but when I turned it on this morning, instead of booting up like normally I just get a black screen saying “No Bootable Device – Please restart system”. Well, I’ve reset the PC dozens of times throughout the day, and it hasn’t seemed to work. I tried to find a solution online myself, but the only thing I could find was to hold the 0 key while turning the PC on, and it should do something, but when I do that, nothing happens. It still just goes to the “No Bootable Device” message. I’m at my wit’s end. I depend on my PC for my daily life, so this is incredibly frustrating and stressful. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

While we wait for others to assist, can I ask if you indeed have ANY system backups?

Just in case you haven’t been down this road already… make sure no CD’s or USB sticks or external drives are plugged in.
Any chance you can hear the hard drive (if it’s the older mechanical ones) either with the usual ‘nice’ whizzes and whirs or the bad ‘click of death’?
The key you need to press as the PC starts is usually the F2, Esc, Del or F10 key (to name the common ones) but it changes per brand sometimes. But that will only get you into the BIOS menu system, not into Windows or your personal files. From BIOS you can see if the hard drive is detected, it sounds like you are looking at a failed drive - so prepare yourself for some sad times ahead if you have no system image or backups of your data.ops:
